SYMPTOMS

When writing a multi-threaded apartment model in COM to set up more than one session, MAPI stops responding (crashes) with the following stack:

CAUSE

MAPI uses a message pump to do the initialization. Initializing with a multithreaded apartment model from a COM app using CDO, more than one initialize message will be sent (one for each thread in the apartment).

During initialization, MAPI creates another message pump, and then the second initialization is processed before the first completes. A profile object is not filled in the first initialization until the notification manager is started. Because MAPI re-enters the initialization functions the second time, the profile object will not be filled until the second initialization finishes, and the logon is completed. Unfortunately, the logon uses the profile object that is NULL because it isn't yet filled in the first initialization call.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 service pack that contains this hotfix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
